- B dedicates each issue to the story of one specific brand. This 46th issue focuses on the designers' colour standard that is Pantone. The rich and colourful history of Pantone dates back to 1963, when the young Lawrence Herbert created the Pantone Matching System(PMS) after buying out a small commercial printing company in New Jersey, USA. By assigning a number to each colour, anyone could achieve accurate and consistently repeatable colour results, and this system catapulted Pantone into becoming the standard language for colour communication for colour-critical industries. While its roots are in the graphic arts community, Pantone expanded its system concept across a variety of industries and proved that ‘colour’ can indeed become a brand
